Incoming next big collection on August 3rd
-
If they fix Johnny Bench and his swing, that's a #5 that would be endgame at catcher. Best combo of offense and defense behind the plate. Who am I kidding, he is still going to be underwhelming just like every year.

Was gold mining this morning looks like it will pay off
I'm still waiting for my Albies train to roll in.

While 5 is Joe DiMaggio's number and they did emphasize 5 many times, it would not make sense to have a second Yankee major collection reward. We already had Riviera, so another Yankee just doesn't make sense to me. By my own logic, that also eliminates Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Lou Gehrig (might see a 99 version of one or more of these in Extreme Moments). It won't be a pitcher (see Riviera above - and if it IS a pitcher, my bet is 99 MVP Pedro) so I'm thinking we haven't had a dominating catcher yet. So my money is on a C, with Bench, Carter, Rodriguez, Berra and Piazza as the possible candidates.

Gotta take Berra out of the running if we're not doing Yankees, but I would be surprised if it was any of those other guys. None of them are known for being fan favorites due to poor swings or not enough pop, so people would be massively underwhelmed. I love Gary Carter but I doubt many people will open their wallets for him.
When I heard #5 I zeroed in on Dimaggio and didn't even consider any other options, but Pujols is probably more likely. Frankly I wish they would just go back to Honus and make him the big collection every year. I liked that they explained it back in 19 that the T206 Honus is only for serious collectors in real life so it's only for serious collectors in the game, too.

Wonder if it’s a prospect “next big one”
Adley maybe?

I have a soft spot for all catchers and I am pulling for Adley to be a superstar one day, but even I think that would be a huge disappointment. I think it's gotta be like a "dude" dude. Not just some dude, dude. But like a duuuude.

A duuuude like “Dude, where’s my car?”

Got to be Hank Aaron right who else big enough New can it be ? . I don’t think it’s Mantle since he was the card collection Reward a couple years back and I think DiMaggio will be the collection Reward next year .

That's exactly what it means

It was in a handicapped zone. Perhaps they towed it.

I still think it's going to be Hank Aaron or Roberto Clemente.

If it's not Albert Pujols, then it has to be Hank Aaron, right?
I mean, surely we have to be getting a nasty Hank Aaron in the next couple of weeks, I'd imagine. Otherwise dishing out the big check to get his likeness rights seems a bit wasted if we don't get to use a juiced Aaron for more than a few months during the peak of the game's life-cycle.

If we get him in Sep or Oct, that's still six or seven months to use it. Call it a reward for those that stick around, and will probably induce some to come back. SDS wants this to be a year-round game, and will release cards at a rate that will maximize users (whatever that is).

Has to be Mantle, Aaron or maybe a tiered collection similar to the LS
